Very very loud SSTV received in IO75 (Glasgow) with a J-Pole in a tree-shrouded back garden!

Equipment was a homebrew J-pole on a 12-foot "mast", Trio TR-7730 transceiver, and qsstv on my laptop. I recorded the pass so I could fiddle about with decoding parameters later.
I started to catch another transmission just as the satellite dropped out of range at about 8 degrees elevation - if I had hooked up the quad I might have caught it.
My first successful SSTV decode, too!
I can make the captured .wav file available if anyone wants it.
